Touch of Green

This morning Suzanne and I visited a favorite location, about 45 minutes from home.  As with any wildlife area, we never know what to expect.  Activity was minimal, but the air was refreshing, we had a chance to catch up, and got a few steps in.  There were more ducks and geese than anything else, although there was evidence of a great deal of beaver activity.  Perhaps they sleep during the day???  I think the Northern Pintails are beautiful examples of the wonders of Mother Nature.  The markings are special.  While preening, this one allowed us a peek at the green inner feathers.  I bet they make an awesome photo in flight.  Maybe next time.
